You'd have to replace the carb.

Which Holley is it? With the double pumpers, as far as i know the only difference between the 650 and the 750 is the mainbody. Those can be had individually if you already have a 650 or 750 DP carb laying around... The nice mainbodies arent really cheap, though. Not sure it's really worth the trouble to do all that, but you can do it.

Right, the 650 to 750 all use the same throttle body, so a replacement main body will upgrade it. But, I believe the 600s use a different throttle body.
